News New York Desperately Needs Blood
Posted by Henry Stewart on Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 12:14 PM
To make matters worse, the blood center's website says the Brooklyn Donation Center by the Jay Street-Metrotech stop is closed until September 8. But several blood drives are scheduled in Brooklyn for this weekend and beyond. It might not solve the two-day crisis, but New York always needs blood.
